That's the bikes done - six of the fleet are looking much better. Coffee time while I decide what, if anything, to do next.

It's odd to have solid cloud cover again after such a long period of sunshinery. It feels almost like British weather. I say almost because there's still no rain.

Evening.
I have been and had my endoscopy. I'm still a little bit woozy. I can't remember all of it as part of anesthetic causes you to forget the experience. I know that my throat began to get very sore as we drove home. I think they put the camera up my nose as they were talking about it. I have to wait for the results of the biopsy. Some of the problems can be caused by acid reflux for which I take Lansaprazole.

It's a custard tart and that's rhyming slang.

One thing about being retired is that you tend to forget about things like the school run pick up and rush hours - as I found out when I went out for a late afternoon bike ride and got caught up in the former in Ipswich and sailed past the traffic on the latter thanks to a well placed bike lane.

It's been a grey and cool day here chez Casa Reynard, but it's turned into a clear evening.
Slept OK-ish. Morning was spent doing a few chores, as well as prepping vegetables so that the gammon could simmer away in some stock while I ate luncheon. I actually sawed the gammon in half, as it was well over 2kg - half went into the stock pot, the other half went into the freezer..
Had a lovely luncheon of rye bread, salami, extra-mature cheddar, fruit and a
After, glazed the gammon with a mixture of gochujang, honey, soy and sesame oil, and finished it off in the oven before letting it cool. The skin went back into the stock pot, and that's having another simmer to get the maximum flavour out of it.
Tea time saw me trot off back into town - earlier than planned, as I wanted to get to Brands (the little independent garden centre) before it shut, so that I could acquire two beefsteak tomato plants. That was duly done. Waitrose yielded a very impressive pot with oregano plants for a fiver - it's a perennial, so should get a few years out of it. In theory, at least. A lot of stuff on sticker in Waitrose, but nothing that I particularly wanted. Especially since I have a lot of poultry and sausages in the freezer.
Then off to Tesco for groceries proper. Got everything on my list except for the leaf tea. That's the second time in a row there's been none, but thankfully I've another packet still in the cupboard as well as enough tea bags to serve an army. Green bins and fruit & veg were a bust, but picked up bread and rolls in the bakery and the chilled reductions yielded a tray of stewing beef, a packet of shortcrust pastry and six assorted pieces of cheese.
Well, a girl can't have too much cheese, although I will divert half of my haul to a friend. Picked up an Epoisses, two baking Camemberts and three pieces of Castello Blue.
A lovely supper of gammon sandwiches and a
Now sat back watching Espanyol v Barca.
